The Daytona 500 held in sunny Daytona Beach, Florida at the newly redeveloped motorsports stadium is held annually during the last Sunday of February. Spectators of the 500 mile long race can not only see their favorite NASCAR racers compete that day, but can enjoy themselves before the race by watching the annual Pre-Race show and concert. Stay the weekend in a local hotel or enjoy the real racer fan community in one of the many camping areas near the stadium. See more..
- 4.5 Halifax River (52 reviews)
-Check out the houses of all the rich people
Bodies of Water
I've been boating on the river a half dozen times in the past few months. There are lots of dockside restaurants (and bars) where you can boat up and enjoy a little local cuisine. The river itself is not terribly scenic, but if you like spending time on the water, you'll like this I reckon. No matter which direction you go, you'll see lots of houses that could be on the old show Lifestyles of the Rich & Famous. Lots of beautiful homes - and you can also rate how nice their docks are.
